I own a 1998 F150 Flareside, 4x4, XLT, Standard Cab; Truck squats on the drivers side, will these help with that at all or am I needing leaves?

It should help a bit.. They raised my 2 whl drive and inch or so. It looked much better after the install without hurting the ride... The shocks are no harsher than oem
2736
I am not sure. My my 98f150 2wd drive extended cab was sagging in the rear. It did help that. It helped the ride a great deal

It helped with mine. These are for a 2 wheel drive. The Monroe 58629 are almost 3 inches longer and for a 4 wheel drive.

I would suggest leaves since it just squats on the one side. I personally would not put one of these on one side and a regular shock on the other.

I put them on a 98 150, then put an overhead camper on the back, seems to hold it up fine, but I also put Helwig overloads on it.

These will probably help, but, if you install a PAIR the "squat" you describe may still be visible. These should easily give you 1-2 inches of "lift" with an empty bed, but that's assuming the truck already sits "level" from side to side, and I wouldn't recommend installing just 1 to fix the squat. Leaves may be your solution, THEN add these for extra lift and capacity!! :-)

I bought two pairs and they fit perfect they were for my dads 99 and my sisters 98 f150 they need to be adjusted before you put them on the truck.. It's east to adjust just it's on the back of the lights you just have to make sure you do it before you put them on..if you get the lights pretty easy to spot what you have to adjust..

You put this on the axle to essentially increase the spring rate of your rear leaf springs to make them more "heavy duty". Let me give you a trailer example: when i loaded a trailer with a 400 lb tongue weight, my xterra looked like it was bottomed out in the back, and rode like it. After adding the hellwigs, my rear is more level and manages the load better. Granted the xterra is not like towing with an F350, the springs definitely helped, but i swapped the hellwigs for an add-a-leap because I wanted a small lift kit.

Yes. I put these on mine and they do make a difference in the amount of grass that goes out of the side.

Nope, it's too narrow. You need a full size pickup box, this one is for smaller or mid size truck. DeeZee and Delta and others have sizes to fit your truck, check the comparisons for your F150. Any box sized for a full size pickup will work for you.

it will absorb a lot of the road vibrations over the stock dampener. I have them installed on my 2500 ram lifted and oversize tires. greatly took that "truck" feel steering and tamed it down. especially over those road transitions i.e. bridges and uneven lane changes

I would check to make sure that the part number you are looking at is for the specific truck. I can tell you that I was extremely pleased with the quality and ease of installation of these on my 2002 Duramax crew cab. I have a friend that is over 325 lbs and while the truck leans over the bars have held his weight no problem. My son got the black ones my recommendation would be to get the stainless or chrome as his black ones are all chipped from the road debris. Good luck with your project. Sorry I could not answer your specific question.

Yes they do, but not much! But I used them at regular height. I did not lower my vehicle. I only put them on the rear which not sure if that makes it bounce more, by not putting them on the front also. The main objective was to carry heavy loads once in a while or when 2 people are in the back seat my vehicle doesn't bottom out. I bought Heavy Duty Koni Struts and set that level to the middle perch level. This also makes it stiffer. The roads are very bad here so it really is much better for me. Still thinking if i want to do the front or not.

They are stiffer than stock. I have an 09 tacoma double cab 4x4 with bfgoodrichs kos.

I would say to consider these pieces with caution. Depending on what angle the perimeter of your side mirrors are, you may or may not be able to adjust these pieces to give a good view. For a trailer, I would imagine I would want to attach these to the very outside of my mirrors (as opposed to the top or bottom), however the angle of my truck's mirror's body would then position the extension mirrors wide and useless. I hope I explained this ok. It's difficult to describe properly.

These Monroe's do lift the back end. And they were pretty stiff. Replacing the front may help to level the truck but if the ass end is still higher than the front keep in mind this is a heavy duty shock and for a small truck this will help when hauling trailers.

I recommend calling the seller to verify which exact model fits your truck, as the website was not accurate in my case. You will likely need different model numbers for the driver and passenger sides.

Your truck came with 6x8 speakers....if you don't mind doing a little cutting, they will work.

It will probably help with sagging. I have mixed feelings about the product, seems Im not getting as good of performace as when I had first installed them. They could just be in need of adjustment. Decent product for the $ I guess considering the cost to do air bags.

It depends on the truck. The Toyota Tacoma actually has different springs on each side. That being said, you can install them on either side, as I have, it will just be slightly different from stock. Also with that, the shocks are also different (length of travel is different) for each side. This goes hand in hand with the different heights of the leaf springs. So make sure you match the shocks with the springs (if you put a left side spring on the right, use a left side shock on the right as well).

I was going to use them for a similar purpose but I found that they had far too much slop. At the top end 30" height I think I measured a 5" diameter circle that the pad your truck would sit on moved. But I tried and my Jeep fell off the jacks! Thankfully I left the tires on for this test and no one was hurt. Hope this helps.

I installed this kit over the summer, and it does not appear to level the truck out, the lift blocks maintain the stock rake to the front. So now I am thinking about buying coil overs for the front (lift springs and shocks)
